greetings everyone, im sure u are all aware of the new upcoming hearthstone expansion and i am especially excited to share some info i have with you all. first of all, i am not natively english so please excuse some mistake. i will try to keep it very brief..

 

the new expansion comes with 232 new cards, with some card and detail already shared to me. one of this card is disciple of shadows, a priest card, 2/4 which switches attack with another minion and it costs 4 mana and also a sinister cultist, rogue card, that is a 2 mana 1/4 and does some sketchy things to watch out for... whenever a minion is summoned, toss a coin, heads for player and tails for enemy.. whoever it lands on, gets to discover something for them.. 

next on, we have the new standard and wild modes making their way to the stage. i am unsure if this is before or after this expansion...

theres also more hero skin on the way, with lady liadrin and tyrande making an appearance some where. 

and the nerfs. there are going to be about 5 card changes that will shake up the play people play though i am not known with them yet.

I think Alex will be nerfed so it's a bigger healbot, perhaps restoring 15 HP to your hero. Right now she restricts future design space.

I've never seen a secret paladin run majordomo or rag... I think it seems better to just not run rag if you don't have him anyways.

Aggro Shaman is a very meta dependent class.  Some days you can win 80% of your games, some days, 40%.  The problem with it is once it gets popular its easy to tech against.   Remove Trogg tech in Ooze or Harrison and its gg.

I was just wondering if I should craft Renolock since it seems pretty fun to play, but i'm unsure because I don't have Imp Gang Boss or Demonwraith. I can craft Jaraxx and Sylvannas but in order to craft both I would have to dust my golden black knight. Is it worth if I don't have those two cards?

Hello, here's more suggestions:

1. Druid of the nightmare is worse than borderfist. 7/5 useless because of BGH.

2. Savage moonkin is basically a 3 mana keeper minus the silence option, but you can just run an owl instead.

3. Corrupted ancient is a great idea, especially if AOL gets nerfed.

4. Devouring plague is worse than corruption.

5. Penance is way better than pain, make it only target minions.

6. Insanity is usually a 2 mana fireball.

7. Fel boar is like a flame imp with charge, maybe up the damage to 4 to your hero?

8. Risen demon is too much tempo gain

9. Dirty tricks is often a dead card, much worse than Ooze.

10. Akama should be nerfed to 5 mana, way better than shredder.

Dr. Boom is the only 7+ attack minion I run in most of my decks, once he rotates out I won't be running any BGH targets if he's not nerfed. Defend BGH all you want, Blizzard and the pros know BGH restricts design space and the fate of big, powerful minions rests on a BGH nerf. I have already spoken out against BGH in other posts, do a search. I will just say that BGH is such a big problem that most renolocks have cut out Mountain Giant, check the deck lists.

 And exactly how do you plan to keep in checks things like double molten giant plus defender of argus, etc...?

Not every class have access to removal like hex or polymorph

 Blizzard already said they are nerfing combo druid, freeze mage and handlock. With the giants nerfed, BGH can safely be nerfed as well.

 Meh they said that they want to nerf druid specifically, but i never see any comment on handlock specifically. If there is and i missed it a link would be appreciated

I've won too many games because my opponent played major domo even when he had 20x lethal next turn. Major domo = auto loss, ragnaros on the other hand can win alot of games when dropped on the right moment and it survives for 2/3 turns. Also ragnaros and majordomo have things common but the big difference is that one is trash and the other was tier 1 and soon to be again.

Dr. Boom for me. Not because it's a good card, it's an overpowered crap, but my dear BGH will lose his favourite target.

I will miss Loatheb the most the only card in the game you can play and know you probably won't get Flamestrike'd or Holy Nova'd next turn I think it's the best designed card of naxxramas not too OP but not weak either.

Quote from ThePloyBoy >>

Loatheb, how will i fight those god damn ComboDruids and FreezeMages...

i really dont understand why the QQers whine for both BGH and Giants to be altered.

 My issue with BGH is it puts a major damper on playing big cards which are some of the most fun to play.  And the only universal counter to things like turn 4 8/8 giants is BGH so if you nerf BGH you need to nerf giants too.

You guys miss the point. Sure secret paladin loses many cards in standard and there might be no reason to nerf secretkeeper if the whole deck already sucks, but devs specifically stated that there will be some sort of secret paladin counter in the next set. Nerfing secret keeper as part of the classic nerfing list is one way of doing that, not to mention secretkeeper definitely has an ability that can easily get out of control in the long run, so they will definitely look at this card. (think undertaker, knife juggler, mechwarper, savage roar etc)

Maybe we will get something similar to Sneed's in the upcoming expansion. He's a balanced, fun, big, sticky minion unlike Boom which is broken OP and I hope to never see in standard.

They'll probably say something about it on the announcement, don't worry.
